Dibes Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Ok after trying to look through several tutorials i have been constantly frustrated by the fact that photobucket DELETES your images after a period of time therefore killing the tutorial!! I have a new suggestion http://www.tinypic.com That will solve the issue!! When you upload your photo use the bottom link it gives you to display the photo thanks!!!

Leif Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I use ImageShack. I have a picture there from 2006, so i don't think they delete them anytime soon.

Simon Brown Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If you don't have an account, TinyPic deletes photos if no-one views them in 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I too use imageshack, they'll keep your image around with or without an account. (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

oma Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 pardon me? I'm not really about to pay for an account any where to give you my hard work. I share the images to my tuts where I want to store them ...... not ever at your dictates where you think I should store them. If there are no images to some of my tuts its because I deleted them as no longer relivant to current version of paint.net. or no one seemed to be doing the tuts.

Crazy Man Dan Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Ok after trying to look through several tutorials i have been constantly frustrated by the fact that photobucket DELETES your images after a period of time therefore killing the tutorial!! Dear Dibes... STOP SHOUTING!! I haven't uploaded to my Photobucket account in over a year, and every single image I've ever uploaded is still there, including a sub-folder full of tutorial images I stopped using when I abandoned my FreeWebs site three years ago. Of all the photo hosting services out there, Photobucket is the only one I've ever used, and it has never deleted an image of mine that I didn't tell it to.

APShredder Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If you don't want to use a photo-hosting site, most ISPs give you a free webspace where you can store you images for as long as you want.

massive_frog2 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 To be fair, he has a small point. PB does delete your images, if you don't access your account after ages. Simple answers: Use PB account. Upload to imageshack Upload to Deviant art (suggested) night jump - tablet Rainbow slide - tablet. No more heroes ONM cover. Anti smoking sig.

cattails Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I have seen problems or "messages" from people trying to use Photobucket to display images but I think it's unfair to say tuts are always involved. Tuts normally don't give me a problem. Sometimes in the forums someone tries to display Photobucket images and I see messages like "bandwidth exceeded" or "photo has been removed" or "inactive account". I also believe if you are not currently active on Photobucket (you need to login etc) over a certain amount of time things happen to your images And you have to pay $ to get more bandwidth. As far as using your ISP which normally gives you storage space: it can be limited space the ISP gives you. I don't know which is better between Image Shack or TinyPic. I think TinyPic has size limits and it will resize images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Brown Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I think TinyPic has size limits and it will resize images. From their FAQ: What is the limit on image size? The image size limit is 1600 pixels (either width or height). Images that are too large are resized to the largest acceptable size. Use the Resize drop-down list on the Upload page to resize your own images when you upload them. Embedding an image anywhere near that size would violate the forum rules.

david.atwell Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I will continue using whatever hosting service I please, thank you very much.

oma Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 and all I'm going to say unless the owner of this site tells me I must use site x or site y its my choice where I upload my tut pictures. I don't honestly think Rick or the Mods care as long as you stick to the size limits. and as for pictures not being there. Have some of you considered perhaps the person no longer belongs to the forum so they don't feel inclined or obligated to maintain a picture. the tuts are put there by people sharing their work, not as a God given right for others to demand and dictate.

Crazy Man Dan Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I will continue using whatever hosting service I please, thank you very much. I log in to my Photobucket account often enough that it keeps them up pretty well. Now, I stopped logging in to Photobucket when I stopped using it (when I got my own webhost and started using that), and it still hasn't removed my images, so I'm not sure that's a factor either. Perhaps it has to do with them being viewed (?), but some of my images aren't even linked anywhere, they're just one-offs I put them there so I show one person something.

You don't have to pay for any of the hosts said here. and as far as I can see there hasn't been one point made about why I should stop using Photobucket for my tut pictures. I can just as easily take them all out and off the forum if you want. That's my perogative as well as where I host them. so as I say don't be trying to dictate anothers decision of hosting site. That's a personal decision made by the person uploading the tut pictures, and as long as they stay within the guidlines writen by the mods and not the mini wanna be mods on the forum that's where my tut pics will stay. ciao  My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oma Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 if you had taken the time to read some of my posts in that thread Flip you would know I took the pictures out because the newer versions of paint.net made the images and methods redundant. try not to be so flippant next time. yes and so are these for now. gone bye bye viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29120&p=251124#p251124 viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28453&p=305343#p305343 viewtopic.php?f=34&t=27099 OMA Â My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Honestly oma, i thought you were much more sensible than that, honestly. i just think this entire thing has been blown out of proportion oma and now you can't even get those tutorials back. Well, I hope you're proud of yourself. flip, I'm with you, I don't know what she thinks she'll achieve by doing that. Loss of friendship from me for a start.
